Studieblad met vrouwen Possibly 1869

"Studie blad met vrouwen" (Study Sheet with Women), a drawing by Cornelis Springer, is a study of four women in various poses, likely created around 1869. The artist, known for his detailed and expressive drawings, captures the figures in a simple, yet expressive, manner, highlighting their clothing and postures. This study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Springer’s artistic process and his interest in human anatomy and movement. It exemplifies the academic tradition of drawing from life to develop artistic skills.
